Size: 50' x 50'
UV Stabilized for long life and durablity
Material: Polyethylene (not nylon)
Polyethylene & Polypropylene are the industry standard materials for high quality poultry netting. These materials are designed for continuous use in high UV areas. The UV protection is actually built into the material, not just a surface treatment. The stretchy Nylon netting I see sold on other sites might or might not have a UV surface treatment that will flake off in a couple of years. I hear from my customers again and again that the nylon netting sold by my competitors is falling apart soon after they spend their valuable time installing it. These materials, Polyethylene & Polypropylene, last for years even in tropical, high UV areas.
Longevity: 7 to 10 years in high UV areas is what is advertised, but my Grandfather had some of this same netting in continuous use for over 20 yrs. and it was still good netting. I have some of it on my farm that has been in use for over 10 years, and it is still very good netting.
Nearly Invisible: won't mar the look of your property
Easy Installation: Lightweight pliable & maintenance-free
I recommend this heavy netting if you live in a snow and ice area, as I do. All of this netting is black in color. I support my netting every 8 ft. with a High Tensile 12.5-gauge wire, then run 8 gauge mono-filament every 8' perpendicularly. We have both of these items in our ebay store. I have a neighbor that uses green house frames to support his netting. I have years of experience with poultry netting. If you have any questions about installation please call or e-mail me.

Installation tip:
You can purchase the zinc snap clips, cable ties or hog rings to secure your net on our website or on our ebay store.
First secure the net to one of the short sides of your pen. Pay careful attention to the uniformity of the squares. They should be square not distorted. Then work your way about 2 ft. down one of the long sides. Switch to the other side. Go about 2 ft. Work your way back and forth about every 2 ft. for the entire length of your pen. While installing, pay attention to the overall look of the net. Keep the squares uniform for a better looking pen. Overly tightening the net will shorten the lifespan.
As you can see in the picture above, we support our netting with both 12.5 gauge high tensile wire & monofilament. I highly recommend the High tensile wire in heavy snow areas. In areas without snow, I would just use the monofilament. We use both & have both available in our ebay store. The pole you see supporting the wire is a cheap 1" electrical conduit, approximately $5 for a 10' piece. I put a topper on top of the poles to engage the wire. The bottom of it is sitting on a piece of treated 2" x 4" x 6" with a small recess drilled with a 1 1/8" spade bit. I also drill a 1/4" hole close to the bottom of the conduit to let the water run out. I only have about an acre under net, but I have a friend raising pheasants with 30 acres under net and he uses the high tensile wire and has a similar setup. One of my next door neighbors supports his netting with Green House frames.
